Predicting 24 Patriots who will be cut before Tuesday’s deadline

Who will be out in New England in the final round of roster cuts?

In less than 24 hours, the New England Patriots will make a slew of player cuts to decide their 53-man roster heading into the 2023 season.

There’s always a surprise thrown in somewhere when it comes to coach Bill Belichick and roster cuts, and part of the fun is trying to figure out what that will be.

Will the Patriots keep rookie quarterback Malik Cunningham on the roster? Is the kicking competition between Nick Folk and rookie Chad Ryland so tight that they’d actually consider carrying both kickers?

There are so many questions facing the team ahead of Tuesday. The Patriots are 24 roster cuts away from being within compliance of the 53-man deadline, which is slated for 4 p.m. ET.

Here are 24 players that probably won’t be on the roster by the deadline.

Updated 53-man roster projection ahead of Patriots’ preseason finale

Who made the cut in our final 53-man roster projections?

The dead heat of training camp practices are in the rearview, and the focus now shifts to the preseason finale and the final roster cut for the New England Patriots.

Next Tuesday is the deadline for teams to cut down to a 53-man roster. The Patriots are going to have some tough decisions on their hands in an effort to be in compliance with that deadline.

Not every player can make the roster, and this could be a case where some fan favorites are ultimately left off the list. Keep in mind, the Patriots have the option of signing players that don’t make the cut to the practice squad, assuming another team doesn’t jump at the chance to sign them.

Here is our third and final 53-man roster projection for the 2023 Patriots ahead of the preseason finale.

This will be another opportunity for players to prove they deserve a spot on the 53-man roster. With 90 players battling, there have been constant changes to the list each week.

The Patriots have also signed new players that will have an opportunity to work their way onto the main roster as well. Let’s dive right into my 53-man roster projection for the Patriots if the preseason and training camp ended today.

Updated Patriots 53-man roster projections

After one full week of training camp, here are some early roster projections for the Patriots.

The first full week of New England Patriots training camp is in the rearview, and the team is on the cusp of their first real game against the Houston Texans in the August 10 preseason opener.

When making personnel decisions, there is a lot of context that goes into the 53-man roster, most importantly the waiver system. Teams will cut players who might be better now, as opposed to a young player with upside, because there is a chance that young player will not make it through waivers.

The Patriots will typically cut players, tell them to wait around and sign them to the practice squad the following day. They value the depth and the player, while maintaining leverage.

They know that player has a better shot at making it through waivers than someone a desperate team might want to claim. I’ll try to give some context into the decisions as we roll through this 53-man roster projection.

Never-too-early Saints 53-man roster projection before training camp

Some Saints rookies have a lot to prove to make the cut. Here’s the latest 53-man roster projection ahead of Saints training camp, via @RossJacksonNOLA:

NFL OTAs and mandatory minicamps will wrap up this month across the league. For the New Orleans Saints, this period of the offseason doesn’t inform us too much about the organizations plans when it comes to their depth chart. However, there will be some competitions and positions to watch throughout training camp, which will begin this summer.

Ahead of training camp beginning, it’s worth taking a look at early projections of the team’s roster makeup so that we can monitor changes that may become apparent up until or even through the preseason. Here are our early projections before training camp begins. You can take a look at the toughest cuts we had to make as well.

Post-minicamp 53-man roster projections for Chargers

Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez takes a crack at predicting Los Angeles’ 53-man roster.

Jobs weren’t won or lost during offseason workouts. Instead, they will be determined in training camp and preseason action, which begins next month.

However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t do an early speculation how I believe the Chargers roster will shape up.

Without further ado, here’s a glance at my much-too-early, post-mandatory minicamp 53-man roster prediction.
